Ordinary Meeting. Thursday, 19 March Public Access relating to items on this Agenda can be made between 9. Requests for public access should be made to the General Manager or Mayor no later than Ken Gainger.
General Manager. Pecuniary - an interest that a person has in a matter because of a reasonable likelihood or expectation of appreciable financial gain or loss to the person or another person with whom the person is associated. Non-pecuniary — a private or personal interest that a Council official has that does not amount to a pecuniary interest as defined in the Local Government Act eg.
A friendship, membership of an association, society or trade union or involvement or interest in an activity and may include an interest of a financial nature. Remoteness — a person does not have a pecuniary interest in a matter if the interest is so remote or insignificant that it could not reasonably be regarded as likely to influence any decision the person might make in relation to a matter or if the interest is of a kind specified in Section of the Local Government Act.
Who has a Pecuniary Interest? Relatives, Partners - a person is taken to have a pecuniary interest in a matter if:. No Interest in the Matter - however, a person is not taken to have a pecuniary interest in a matter:. Disclosure and participation in meetings. No Knowledge - a person does not breach this Clause if the person did not know and could not reasonably be expected to have known that the matter under consideration at the meeting was a matter in which he or she had a pecuniary interest.
Non-pecuniary Interests - Must be disclosed in meetings. Non-pecuniary conflicts of interests must be dealt with in at least one of the following ways:.
However, Councillors should consider providing an explanation of why they consider a conflict does not exist. Participate in discussion but not in decision making or vice-versa. Care needs to be taken when exercising this option. Relinquishing or divesting the personal interest that creates the conflict.
Public Access. Requests for Leave of Absence. Declarations of Interest — Pecuniary and Non-Pecuniary. Adoption of Minutes from Previous Meetings. Reservation of Items for Debate and Order of Business. Mayoral Minute. Notices of Motion. Submissions and Grants. Delegates' Reports.

Councillors are encouraged to ask questions regarding any item on the business paper to the appropriate Executive Manager prior to the meeting. Any suggested amendments to the recommendations should be provided to the Administration section prior to the meeting to allow the changes to be typed and presented on the overhead projector at the meeting.
Notices of Motion 9. Notice of Motion No. Over the last 12 months or so, both the General Manager and myself have had informal talks with SCU in order to explore the possibility of SCU establishing a greater presence in the Byron Shire. These talks have been positive and the possibility for more thorough and fruitful discussions is apparent. In order for discussions and possible additional agreements within the current MOU between the two entities to be actioned, it is appropriate for Byron Shire Council to resolve that establishing an education and research facility would be welcomed in our Shire.
This signals clearly to SCU that we wish for a partnership to strengthen. It is essential to acknowledge that this does not commit Council to allocate funds to any resulting actions within this partnership. Currently many residents either teach, work or study at SCU and so having a local facility would greatly support these endeavours.
It would also bring obvious financial benefits to the shire and would revitalise any areas surrounding future sites if a site is identified and a facility established. Support this partnership is clearly articulated within the current Operational Plan.
Pertinent sections include:. Budget Program: Economic Development and Tourism. Item No 1. Establish effective partnerships and network relationships with key stakeholder organisations locally and regionally. Create an Economic Development Strategy that provides a platform for employment generation and industry development.
What will we achieve? Consolidate relationships with learning, education and training organisations that will progress the development of skills for individuals and industry cluster groups towards employment pathways.
Signed: Cr Simon Richardson. Management Comments must not include formatted recommendations — resolution This proposal has the potential to build upon an already close relationship that has developed between SCU and the Council to our mutual benefit. The MOU entered into by both organisations in Attachment 1 anticipates and facilitates meaningful and practical initiatives that derive benefits that accrue to the people of the Byron LGA as a result of a University presence within its boundaries.
Specifically the MOU contemplates:. In doing so we rely upon our duty of care, accredited scientific publications, and advisories in print from ARPANSA, the ACMA, and the Communications Alliance to apply a precautionary principle in addition to regulated safety standards. All over the world there has been an unprecedented explosion in the availability and use of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields for electrical and wireless communications technologies mobile and cordless phones, WiFi and WIMAX networks, RFID, etc,.
There is a body of evidence now that indicates exposure to electromagnetic fields interferes with basic human biology and may increase the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. These standards are obsolete and were derived from biological effects of short-term high intensity exposures that cause health effects by temperature elevation and nerve excitation discovered decades ago. Recent research indicates that electromagnetic fields could cause detrimental health effects even at very low levels of exposure.
See the figure below noting standards adopted by other countries. The World Health Organization classified radiofrequency radiation as a class 2B, possible human carcinogen in May following an expert panel review of the medical evidence. This classification applies to all sources of radiofrequency radiation, including cell phones, cell antennas and WiFi routers. That for more than 10 years, Switzerland has been operating with an EMR standard that is 1 per cent of the current Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency standard proving this to be both technically and economically viable.
It is imperative that we develop policies that reconcile public health concerns with further development of wireless communications technology. However, the existence of these effects and their implications has not been sufficiently established to allow for them in the standard.
Section Below are studies and references supporting the minimisation of public radiofrequency field exposure. In many studies an increased risk of developing leukaemia has been found; in children near transmitter antennas for Radio and Television in Hawaii 3 ;. Increased cancer cases and general mortality in the area of Radio and Television transmitter antennas in Australia 4 ;.
Australia , And in England, 9 times more leukaemia cases were diagnosed in people who live in a nearby area to the Sutton Coldfield transmitter antennas. Sutton Coldfield Transmitter, Am. In a second study, concentrating on 20 transmitter antennas in England, a significant increased leukaemia risk was found. All High Tower Transmitters, Am. The Cherry study 7 indicates an association between an increase in cancer and living in proximity to a transmitter station.
According to a study of the transmitter station of Radio Vatican, there were 2. The three studies of symptoms indicated a significant correlation between illness and physical proximity to radio transmission masts.
A study by Santini et al. Incidences of distance and sex, Pathol. In Austria there was an association between field strength and cardiovascular symptoms And in Spain a study indicates an association between radiation, headache, nausea, loss of appetite, unwellness, sleep disturbance, depression, lack of concentration and dizziness Accredited Organisations That Have Issued. Signed: Cr Rose Wanchap. Council Policy No. Any proposed telecommunications facilities on private lands could still be constructed under State Environmental Planning Policy Infrastructure , SEPP Infrastructure including both exempt and complying development in relation to telecommunications facilities as listed under Schedule 3A of the SEPP Infrastructure.
Where a Development Application is lodged for a telecommunications facility on private land, this would continue to subject to a merit assessment under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act There is currently no proposal to review Council Policy No.
As Owners Consent can only be granted by way of resolution of Council, the elected Council could continue to use its discretion for each individually proposed development on Council land to determine the appropriateness of the proposal. There is limited financial and resource implications other than the potential loss of an additional rental income source where telecommunications facilities could have been appropriately installed on Council lands.
A review Council Policy No. A low-impact facility includes a single extension of up to 5m to a tower in a rural or industrial zone, but not to such an extension in a residential or a commercial zone. A low impact facility also includes an antenna up to 2.

Request Program Info. The Comparative Religion concentration encourages the joint study of different religious traditions by exploring their fundamental themes, beliefs, and concerns, their principal figures and texts, and their variety of rituals and practices. In a socio-cultural context characterized by an increasing degree of religious pluralism, students will acquire the methodological and conceptual tools to engage in comparative studies of two or more religions from a thematic, analytic, or constructive perspective. Particular emphasis will be given to interdisciplinary approaches to the study of religion Within the interreligious, multi-racial, and multicultural context of the GTU, students are prepared to develop competency in multifaceted practical theologies. In contrast to Applied Theology, practical theology is understood as a method of reflection that seeks to connect beliefs with life, faith with practice, and theory with praxis. Students engage in systematic and critical reflections on religious life in the world through mutually interpretative and mutually critical examinations of traditional beliefs and contemporary experiences.
Mark your calendars for our live and virtual Leadership Conference beginning November 11! Through a number of speaker series, workshops, and a case challenge, participants will have the opportunity to reflect and build on their understanding of sustainable development. Learn More Today!
